This event will highlight the indisputable impact of older women on their communities. Opportunities and potential barriers for older women to exercise their right to participate will be explored. Civil society will make the argument that ageism is impacted by sexism and that older people, including women, should be protected by an international legal instrument on the rights of older persons.
